HEROIN RESPONSE

Co-Chair:Lindsey Myers, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment

The Heroin Response work group’s purpose is to establish a coordinated statewide response to Colorado’s emerging heroin problem. Work group members represent diverse backgrounds and include representatives from federal, state, and local law enforcement, prevention, treatment, and recovery organizations.

The Heroin Response work group’s goals for 2017-18 are to:

Enhance relationships between law enforcement, treatment, and public health;

Expand Crisis Services to handle opioid use disorder (OUD) calls and act as a resource for responding law enforcement;

The Heroin Response work group meets every month (in person and by remote conferencing), with occasional exceptions. The current work group roster, most recent meeting minutes, and upcoming meeting schedule are available on the left-hand side of this page.
